Abstract
This final rule removes the regulation concerning how the Department of the Air Force appoints individuals to the United States Air Force Academy. The part is outdated, contains internal guidance, reiterates statutory law, and is otherwise subject to the military function exemption to rulemaking. Applicants to the Air Force Academy are individually provided with any relevant entrance information and the current policy is publicly available on the United States Air Force Academy's website. Therefore, the part is unnecessary and can be removed from the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR).

32 CFR Chapter VII
[Docket ID: USAF-2021-HQ-0001]
RIN 0701-AA81
Appointment to the Air Force Academy
AGENCY: Department of the Air Force, Department of Defense.
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This final rule removes the regulation concerning how the
Department of the Air Force appoints individuals to the United States
Air Force Academy. The part is outdated, contains internal guidance,
reiterates statutory law, and is otherwise subject to the military
function exemption to rulemaking. Applicants to the Air Force Academy
are individually provided with any relevant entrance information and
the current policy is publicly available on the United States Air Force
Academy's website. Therefore, the part is unnecessary and can be
removed from the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR).
DATES: This rule is effective on December 17, 2021.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Laura Megan-Posch at 703-697-4370.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This final rule removes 32 CFR part 901,
``Appointment to the United States Air Force Academy,'' which was
originally published on June 26, 1986 (51 FR 23221), and has not since
been updated. Part 901 is outdated, contains internal guidance,
reiterates statutory law, and is otherwise subject to the military
function exemption to rulemaking. Current policy is provided
individually to applicants and is contained in Air Force Manual 36-
2032, Military Recruiting and Accessions, September 27, 2019 (available
at <a href="https://static.e-publishing.af.mil/production/1/af_a1/publication/afman36-2032/afman36-2032.pdf">https://static.e-publishing.af.mil/production/1/af_a1/publication/afman36-2032/afman36-2032.pdf</a>). Accordingly, this part is unnecessary
and can be removed from the CFR. It has been determined that
publication of this CFR part removal for public comment is
impracticable and contrary to the public interest because it is based
on removing outdated and unnecessary content. This rule is not
significant under Executive Order 12866, Sec 3, ``Regulatory Planning
and Review.''
The Under Secretary of the Air Force, Ms. Gina Ortiz Jones, having
reviewed and approved this document, is delegating the authority to
electronically sign this document to Mr. Tommy W. Lee, who is the Air
Force Federal Register Liaison Officer, for purposes of publication in
the Federal Register.
